Aug. 13, 2011 President's Island Shelby Co. TN I met Gail King down on the island today about noon. After a long search we came across one White-winged Dove perched with a group of mixed doves. This bird stayed put and we had a detailed study of its structure and behavior for the good part of an hour. Gail got so good that she picked up a second bird by just having a fleeting look the head and bill through her glasses at about 50 yards. It took a few minutes before the second bird flew out into the open and then the two sat on a wire above the road.
